Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- Raises federal funding for food-bank infrastructure grants to $25 million a year from 2026–2030, up from the prior $15 million.
- Shifts grant money to flow through state agencies, which then pass funds along to support local food distribution work.
- Tells grant makers to prefer Tribal, low-income, and remote communities, aiming help at places that are hardest to serve.
- Broadens what grants can pay for, like cold storage, delivery vehicles, mobile and home delivery options, and outreach studies.
- Requires a national USDA report on shortages in freezers/coolers and refrigerated trucks, backed by $1 million for the study.
